Irony fun fact #54

Irony always has something to with the opposite, or contrary, of what is
+ Intended
+ Expected
+ Represented
+ Communicated

The opposite "meaning" that is communicated can be either intentional or unintentional.

When unintentional, like in a drama with a character who knows NOT what evil he sows or the tragedy that will befall him, we get into the realm of "dramatic" irony.)

Allright? Got it?
